Iggy I have made one from 1/4" plastic sheet like you use for windows I used four conduit clamps attached to the sheet that clamp to the ladder side rails so I can mount to either the top rails or the back rails I wish I had photos will have to get some to show anyway I used the original tube and mount to the plastic It also has the level built in so I can level it so far has worked in most places we have been.

I would love to see some pictures. Can you use it no matter what direction you park?
Here is the one I made yesterday for my large dish.

I made one of those and filled it with sand. Mine has 3 legs do it won't teeter. I threw it on the roof at a BBQ contest in Kansas City in a wide open parking lot with some pretty stiff winds and it never moved all weekend. That's the part I like most and it stows easy.

Like your GREAT IDEA about filling it with sand.
I think I may do that but with everything sealed I need to sut and open it up.

To get your signal from your SAT to the TV dis you have to do any MODs?

Did you hook it up to the SAT connection on the outside?

Where did that feed go inside and how did you hook up your receiver?

Thanks

Iggy

I use the satellite feed on the exterior of the camper. I connect the receiver to the cable outlet from concertone, set the tuner at AV1, and the TV input set to cable. Voila , picture perfect, well almost, except for the poor quality signal created as it passes through the concertone tuner. Video jumping.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Is this the one connection in the cabinet below the TV?

I understand this set the ZX700 tuner at AV1, and the TV input set to cable.

Do you mean you by passed the ZX700 and went straight to the TV?

I understand this set the ZX700 tuner at AV1, and the TV input set to cable. YES, Pretty sure it was the Cable setting on the TV. Not 100%. You may have to try a couple of available input settings to be sure.

This is my sat hook up. As you can see I made two small jumpers that I leave in the 5ver when I remove the receiver. If you also hook up CABLE there is no more connection other than the hook up out side or using the roof antenna. You have to select ant or cable/sat in the TV setup and do a channel search.

The cable on the left goes to "SAT IN" and the one on the right is "OUT TO TV"

I also use a audio RED/WHITE/YELLOW cable for the surround sound, as you can see in the white plate connection. The red/white/red cable also plugs into the sat receiver.

As you can see, I use key tags to label the cables so there is no screw up from bad memory!!!!!!!

I also have two old CB antenna magnets attached to the top of the cabinet interior to stick my receiver to when it is installed in the cabinet. I just leave the cabinet door open so the remote will work.

My camper only has the one hookup on the outside for the tv. I didn't really like that with all the other stuff it does inside the walls so I drilled a small hole out the bottom of the tv area into the front storage area. I disconnected the coax from the tv in plate on the outside of the camper and connected my own. That way I have 1 wire going straight from the dish to the receiver. Great picture quality.
